In our current landscape, we want our burlesque and drag community to feel strong and powerful, both physically and mentally.

So we’re teaming up with Jess & Oswyn from Fit POWER LLC for a Self-Defense for Burlesque & Drag Performers hybrid workshop!

This FREE 90 minute workshop is open to all burlesque, drag, and nightlife performers, including those outside of Ithaca.

Session includes:
